Botty burps or windy pops

I have always hated the word 'trump'; it is widely used in GS's household, but we 'blow off' in this house, too, CD!

When I was a primary school teacher, we called them bottom burps.

We had poomps in childhood but my partner had freddies and no idea where it originated despite their being an uncle freddie. [he wasn't a farter.]

There are different grades and varieties - 'fart' for the everyday version; SBD for the sneaky ones; 'window rattlers' for the sonic boomers; and 'what the hell is that, what died and I can't breathe - biological warfare alert' if my son us involved (since he was a baby, and he is now 25, that boy has produced rancid gases).

When I was young ( many years ago) fart was a 'swear' word but it seems common nowadays as all my GC use it as well as the more common trump.

My 3 all say "farts" too. Little one takes great delight in producing a particularly noisy one . Horrible little boy .

We called them pumps and at school people said "who's let off?"My DGD who is 20 months old says "I farted!"
I agree with merlot that "trump" would be appropriate these days

I seriously dislike the f word. Think it's crude and unnecessary when we have so many gentler alternatives. No wonder children giggle. Sad, methinks........

This is not for the easily offended.
Anybody remember Doc Cox of the That's Life BBC programme in the 80s. He was a local resident and friend of a friend and I bought his record which he produced under the name Ivor Biggun This was the farting song and we called farts 'trouser coughs' for a long time. Like I said, don't click if you are easily offended

We were not allowed to call them anything when I was small! We were taught to say either " I beg your pardon" or "excuse me" when we passed wind, which was the term my parents used.

I was mortified when I, obeying instructions, said "excuse me" because it happened to me when visiting a school friend and her mother said "Why dear, what did you do wrong?" not having noticed anything, and I had to explain!

At school we called them "gas bags" when no teachers were around.

i just tell my grandaughters that i'm having problems with my exhaust pipe [i think it's wearing out]. they fall about laughing.

We weren't allowed to talk about such things either.

At home we referred to rude noises and rude smells when I was little but at school it was called blowing off (or letting off.).
Gcs when small talked about bottom noises with much giggling. I think some of them say trump now (oldest , a teenager now, calls them Donalds!)
I dislike fart - it sounds vulgar to me but I think some other GC from another family say that.

I grew up calling them 'fluffs' as well, but when my children were small we called them' pop offs.'

What's wrong with farts and burps? Can't bear the twee euphemisms.

I would never have used the word with my parents but DS1did once when he was about 5. Stunned my DF to silence.

Did Nelly the elephant have problems with her digestive system?

We fart as well

And should it be a productive one the word sharted is used

my 14 grandson shouts safety, just too late by then

You can't call them Trumps. How could you ever sing Nellie the Elephant to them again!!!

Farts here - but apart from DGD announcing each and every one, we don't talk about them all that much!

Called 'puffs' in our family (for the children). If any adult commits this ghastly social gaffe then it is ignored tactfully. (!) I also hate the 'f' word as it sounds rather crude - and I am not of Jane Austen nature, just don't like it.

My dad always said blow-offs, so that what we call it.

I'm such a child at times!
